From wikipedia:

"As of 2015, the IMOD Mirasol display laboratory in Longtan, Taiwan, formerly run by Qualcomm, is now apparently run by Apple."

So even if something comes out of it - it would be probably just locked into apples garden.

That’s just Apple reusing the physical factory not the tech. Qualcomm completely abandoned the technology and couldn’t find anyone to license it.

I guess they didn't look hard enough. I would have bought the tech for $1.

[Retric]

I realize you are mostly joking, but even having their lawyers go over the licensing contract would cost them far more than 1$. Actually transferring the knowledge of how to manufacture this stuff would probably require low 7 figures for them just to break even on the deal.

If only there were deep pocketed people that took bets on this kind of stuff instead of chasing the web3 bandwagon.

[hutzlibu]

Thanks, but that is allmost equally disappointing as it hints there were major problems with the technology.

[nicoburns]

I don't think they are, but Apple coming out with this tech would be ideal: everyone copies Apple!

[m-p-3]

An Apple Watch with an always-on Mirasol display would be great.
